Steppe Mecados.

Main - Maximum height 2 meters. Live up to 100 years old. Due to the past nomadic way of life, the Mecado did not form its own city. This people, widely spread across Kendaris, and over time began to adopt a sedentary lifestyle, thereby forgetting their culture. Only a few steppe people continue to live as nomads, barrowing the vast expanses of endless steppes from the distance of civilized and developed cities.
By their nature, the steppe mecados are not aggressive, on the contrary, they are very hospitable and inquisitive. They are open to communication and are always happy to help those in need. With trepidation, they take care of the giants on the way, if they need help.
There are two things that every mecado possesses, be it steppe or mountainous. These are dances, music and songs. Each mekado dances beautifully, has a sense of rhythm and a well-placed voice, it is in their blood, it is part of their culture. In dance, mekado find themselves a mate, see a reliable and faithful friend, have fun from the heart, and are happy to please the eye of the viewer with their performance. The dance accompanies all the solemn and mourning events in the life of the mekado. Weddings, birthdays, meeting old friends, Policate worship day, or a funeral. All this, the mekado always meets with its dance, music and songs that come from the very soul. Well, the steppe nomads do believe that through dances and songs they communicate with the very goddess of all living things, Polikata.
The second unifying feature of all mekados is their special gift, or as others usually call it, "curse". Mekado, love once and for all. If he has fallen in love with someone, he will love this person until the end of his days, and will not look at anyone else. As a result, although the Mekado is a sociable and open people, their hearts are still very cold, and you need to try pretty hard so that the Mekado would be imbued with trust in you. But sometimes there were cases when the mekados fell in love with those who were married. This usually happens when the betrothed is not happy in family life, then a quick divorce saved the Mecado and the divorced from suspicion of "Saktafil" - treason, which is considered a crime in Kendaris.
Steppe, they can work in any professional field, and because of their love and skill for dancing, they make excellent masters of hand-to-hand combat. Fast, agile, impetuous. Due to their elongated body structure, their bones are twice as strong as those of other races, therefore, elbow strikes are very deadly. In family life, the mekados try to adhere to equality.
The mecado nomad is easily distinguished from the urban one. Any nomad has a bone mask with him, individual, special. Steppe nomads use such masks when traveling through the deserts to protect their eyes from sand and dust. And clothes. Lots of jewelry made of bones, feathers, precious metals and stones, with bright fabrics.
If nomads come to the city to replenish provisions, sell, or exchange something from their luggage, these tailed beasts will not deny themselves the pleasure of arranging a holiday with songs and dances in honor of their arrival. Well, the city mecados are always glad to have such visits, and they always try to bring their children out to get to know their culture as close as possible.
Steppe nomads always keep kadar and zibl with them. Kadars help them travel, and zibls always correctly predict the rains, which is also very important on long journeys.
